FIRST FIFTEEN-LOVE TV SERIES IMAGES FROM PRIME VIDEO

We are launching Monday with the first images arrived from Amazon's Prime Video new mini series FIFTEEN-LOVE which will air this summer set in the world of professional tennis.

  JUSTINE PEARCE WAS

 the rising star of the tennis world. Her sudden success aged 17 took her and her coach Glenn Lapthorn to the quarter finals of the French Open. But, with the world watching, Justine's wrist shattered and she crashed out. Five years later, Justine works at the prestigious tennis academy where she once trained and has given up competing for good. When Glenn returns to lead the academy, having coached another player to Grand Slam victory, Justine struggles to cope. Seeing Glenn achieve their shared dream pushes Justine into dangerous and dysfunctional behaviour, culminating with her allegation to the police that Glenn coerced her into a damaging psychosexual relationship, which caused the dramatic collapse of her career. Justine's accusation sets off earthquakes in the lives of all those around her, putting reputations, careers and Justine’s own sanity on the line. As Wimbledon approaches, our key players prepare for competition; but secrets, old wounds and destructive sexual passion reach boiling point. As the battle for the whole truth about Glenn and Justine's relationship reaches its twisted climax, Fifteen-Love shines a light on the lines between coaching and control, determination and obsession, love and abuse.

FROM NETFLIX WW2 SERIES

I have first photo from Netflix World War 2 series which will be presented next month at SeriesMania! TRANSATLANTIC is set in 1940! Varian Fry traveled to Marseille carrying three thousand dollars and a list of imperiled artists and writers he hoped to help escape within a few weeks. Instead, he stayed more than a year, working to procure false documents, amass emergency funds, and arrange journeys across Spain and Portugal, where the refugees would embark for safer ports. The race against time to save them is a tale of forbidden love, high-stakes adventure, and unimaginable courage. Cory Michael Smith and Corey Stoll lead the cast of the series which should start streaming April 7th at Netflix.
